YOUR E-MAIL ALERTSBAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Two car bombs killed dozens of Iraqis on Tuesday, four days before a referendum on the country's constitution. A suicide car bomb exploded in a busy Tal Afar marketplace, killing 30 people and wounding another 45, the deputy governor of Nineveh province told CNN. Khasro Goran said the attack happened at 11 a.m. (3 a.m. ET) when the bomber drove a vehicle painted to look like a taxi into a group of shoppers in the vegetable market. At least 20 people were also killed when a suicide car bomb, targeting an Iraqi army convoy, detonated near a busy gas station in the western Baghdad neighborhood of Amiriya, police said. A number of Iraqi army vehicles could be seen burning at the scene. Ambulances immediately rushed to the area as police and military cordoned it off.
